Johnny Depp made a series of strange, surprise appearances at the 2022 MTV VMAs as the channel's famous mascot, the Moon Man.
Floating above the stage in a projection, he was heard to say "I needed the work" as the annual ceremony was opened.
It marks the latest appearance by the actor in an apparent comeback into the public sphere, following his victory in the multimillion-dollar lawsuit against former partner Amber Heard.
In subsequent virtual appearances at the VMAs he declared that he is available for "birthdays, bar mitzvahs, weddings, wakes, anything you need… anything.
"Oh, I’m also a dentist," he added.
It was recently announced that Depp is set to direct his first feature film in 25 years with Modi, about the Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani.
